La Sportiva Alpine Touring Skis Capo Ski 2022

Why We Like The Capo Ski

They say powder days are rare, but with La Sportiva’s Capo Ski we’re willing to push another mile or ten in search of the soft stuff. We like that La Sportiva sized it for powder and built it light enough for long-distant touring. A full rocker gives a surfy feel in soft snow, and the progressive sidecut stops on the dime when the only soft snow left is at no-fall zones.
